How to write a scenic
composition
 Immerse yourself in the data
 Take a distance from it
 Call the experience to mind
 When it feels right write a one side account
of „as it comes‟
 Free associatively draw on the imagery
it arouses
 Retain the original gestalt if you craft it
Scenic Understanding
 The „scene‟ - a complex whole - arises
at the point of interaction between the
subject and environment. It is always the
primary object of perception before
specific figures or „interaction forms‟
differentiate from the matrix of relations
that compose it
Alfred Lorenzer
The Novel
I walk through peeling down- at- heel
Liverpool …then the enveloping purple of
the studio. The body will be cared for
amidst the fleshlessness of new media.
The caterers, recovered drinkers, are
sociable, engaged, nurturing, redeemed.
I feel wary of the technicians tinkering
assuredly with keys, plugs, widgets and
interfaces……
Internet Chat
…guy who owns a bar, I think. Long curly
hair – authentic? Bit posh. Artist? … angry
bar woman - self-righteous. Mike bearded
like Roger the compere. So‟s Ali. Bingeing to
alcoholism … shock horror every time
someone mentions cost to the tax payer. Cut
your foot on glass. In Spain they have plastic
glasses to binge.
They‟re pay attention to my
text, message, tweet, whatever... Lynn has
come online. Yikes!
Fantasy fiction
The world of new media is like the
Jabberwocky -exciting, unpredictable -
nonsense to the uninitiated. Like the Mad
Hatters tea party people talk in riddles:
platforms, web-clouds, information super
highway, social media, new media. We just
want to stay in the room with people who
talk our language…
The Rap Poem
How many are watching
Observing and talking
Don‟t know what they‟re thinking
Words dribbling down screen
Bringing their presence in
Radio Roger is reminded
Turns and reads
While the room bleeds …
Interpretive procedure
 What is being said?
 How is it being said?
 Why is it being said in this particular
way?
 What is the composition doing?
Crisis of Representation: no
view from nowhere
 Interrogates notions of objectivity which
rely on a subject object split in favour
of a view in which all research implicates
the position and view of the researcher
 Imperative of researcher reflexivity
 Research as a situated and processual
activity
 moral/ethical/political context permeates
the research process
 methodological pluralism for multi-
faceted lenses on the object.
 „rigour‟ re-cast from validity and
empirical generalisability‟ to verification,
plausibility, coherence and theoretical
generalisability.
The scene is „in-between‟
subjective
imagination and social reality.
It partakes of the participating
consciousness and unconscious of the
researcher/observer and cultural
resources held in common with the
reader/audience which render it intelligible.
 „if we want to understand the
analysand‟s life practice, including his
concrete social reality, we must follow
the path laid down by his subjective
ideas and fantasies about relations‟. „we
must become attuned to his scenic
interaction forms as these unfold before
us‟ (1977 p125). These, which make up
the scenic composition, „lie between the
“inside” and the “outside”‟ and „their
interplay accounts for everything .. [it]
provides the basic model‟ (1986, pp41-
4)..
